We've learned a lot about Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino in the past few years: he used to be a stripper, is the proud creator of a very popular "Grenade dodger" app, and he makes an obscene amount of money. Today, we catch a glimpse of The Situation's home life, courtesy of a series of totally terrifying videos—pretty much all of which are NSFW, unless you have headphones—from his dad Frank Sorrentino, who is also writing a tell-all book called "Confrontation With The Situation."
In the first video, called "Fuck The Little Fuck," Frank introduces himself, then declares that his son "Created more situations for me in my life than the name he gave himself. You're full of shit, I know you. I put my balls on the line for you 100 fucking times when you couldn't," and then makes a vague allusion to asking Mikey for some cash monies and being denied:
In the next video, Frank says that he got Mike a job, where the younger Sorrentino immediately attracted the attention of an, ahem, more mature woman. The next thing you know, "She decides that she wants to give him a BJ in the office. She gets caught, and Mike claims sexual harassment. This guy wants to go claim sexual harassment because some 40 year-old broad sucked his dick!" Charming, no?
Should you for some reason feel the need to learn more, visit Frank's originally-named website, The Confrontation Site.
